출애굽기 10

Studie

   

1 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 바로에게로 들어가라 내가 그의 마음과 그 신하들의 마음을 완강케 함은 나의 표징을 그들 중에 보이기 위함이며

2 너로 내가 애굽에서 행한 일들 곧 내가 그 가운데서 행한 표징을 네 아들과 네 자손의 귀에 전하게 하려 함이라 너희가 나를 여호와인줄 알리라

3 모세와 아론이 바로에게 들어가서 그에게 이르되 `히브리 사람의 하나님 여호와께서 말씀하시기를 네가 어느 때까지 내 앞에 겸비치 아니하겠느냐 ? 내 백성을 보내라 ! 그들이 나를 섬길 것이라

4 네가 만일 내 백성 보내기를 거절하면 내일 내가 메뚜기로 네 경내에 들어가게 하리니

5 메뚜기가 지면을 덮어서 사람이 땅을 볼 수 없을 것이라 메뚜기가 네게 남은 그것 곧 우박을 면하고 남은 것을 먹으며 들에 너를 위하여 자라는 모든 나무를 먹을 것이며

6 또 네 집들과 네 모든 신하의 집들과 모든 애굽 사람의 집들에 가득하리니 이는 네 아비와 네 조상이 세상에 있어 옴으로 오늘까지 보지 못하였던 것이리라 하셨다' 하고 돌이켜 바로에게서 나오니

7 바로의 신하들이 그에게 고하되 `어느 때까지 이 사람이 우리의 함정이 되리이까 ? 그 사람들을 보내어 그 하나님 여호와를 섬기게 하소서 ! 왕은 아직도 애굽이 망한 줄을 알지 못하시나이까 ?' 하고

8 모세와 아론을 바로에게로 다시 데려오니 바로가 그들에게 이르되 가서 너희 하나님 여호와를 섬기라 ! 갈 자는 누구 누구뇨 ?

9 모세가 가로되 `우리가 여호와 앞에 절기를 지킬 것인즉 우리가 남녀 노소와 우양을 데리고 가겠나이다'

10 바로가 그들에게 이르되 `내가 너희와 너희 어린 것들을 보내면 여호와를 너희와 함께하게 함과 일반이니라 삼갈지어다 너희 경영이 악하니라

11 그는 불가하니 너희 남정만 가서 여호와를 섬기라 이것이 너희의 구하는 바니라' 이에 그들이 바로 앞에서 쫓겨나니라

12 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 네 손을 애굽 땅 위에 들어 메뚜기로 애굽 땅에 올라와서 우박에 상하지 아니한 밭의 모든 채소를 먹게 하라

13 모세가 애굽 땅 위에 그 지팡이를 들매 여호와께서 동풍을 일으켜 온 낮과 온 밤에 불게 하시니 아침에 미쳐 동풍이 메뚜기를 불어 들인지라

14 메뚜기가 애굽 온 땅에 이르러 그 사방에 내리매 그 해가 심하니 이런 메뚜기는 전에도 없었고 후에도 없을러라

15 메뚜기가 온 지면에 덮여 날으매 땅이 어둡게 되었고 메뚜기가 우박에 상하지 아니한 밭의 채소와 나무 열매를 다 먹었으므로 애굽 전경에 나무나 밭의 채소나 푸른 것은 남지 아니하였더라

16 바로가 모세와 아론을 급히 불러서 이르되 `내가 너희 하나님 여호와와 너희에게 득죄하였으니

17 청컨대 나의 죄를 이번만 용서하고 너희 하나님 여호와께 구하여 이 죽음만을 내게서 떠나게 하라'

18 그가 바로에게서 나가서 여호와께 구하매

19 여호와께서 돌이켜 강렬한 서풍이 불게 하사 메뚜기를 홍해에 몰아 넣으시니 애굽 온 지경에 메뚜기가 하나도 남지 아니하니라

20 그러나 여호와께서 바로의 마음을 강퍅케 하셨으므로 이스라엘 자손을 보내지 아니하였더라

21 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 하늘을 향하여 네 손을 들어서 애굽 땅위에 흑암이 있게 하라 곧 더듬을 만한 흑암이리라

22 모세가 하늘을 향하여 손을 들매 캄캄한 흑암이 삼일 동안 애굽온 땅에 있어서

23 그 동안은 사람 사람이 서로 볼 수 없으며 자기 처소에서 일어나는 자가 없으되 이스라엘 자손의 거하는 곳에는 광명이 있었더라

24 바로가 모세를 불러서 이르되 `너희는 가서 여호와를 섬기되 너희 양과 소는 머물러두고 너희 어린 것은 너희와 함께 갈지니라'

25 모세가 가로되 `왕이라도 우리 하나님 여호와께 드릴 희생과 번제물을 우리에게 주어야 하겠고

26 우리의 생축도 우리와 함께 가고 한 마리도 남길 수 없으니 이는 우리가 그 중에서 취하여 우리 하나님 여호와를 섬길 것임이며 또 우리가 거기 이르기까지는 어떤 것으로 여호와를 섬기는지 알지 못함이니이다' 하나

27 여호와께서 바로의 마음을 강퍅케 하셨으므로 그들을 보내기를 즐겨 아니하고

28 모세에게 이르되 `너는 나를 떠나가고 스스로 삼가 다시 내 얼굴을 보지 말라 내 얼굴을 보는 날에는 죽으리라'

29 모세가 가로되 `왕의 말씀이 옳으니이다 ! 내가 다시는 왕의 얼굴을 보지 아니하리이다 !'

7682. 'And the east wind brought the locusts' means massive falsity present with the molesting ones, brought by the agent of destruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'the east wind' as the agent of destruction, dealt with just above in 7679; and from the meaning of 'the locusts' as falsity in outermost parts, dealt with in 7643, at this point massive falsity since it had taken possession of the whole natural mind, 7645.

6222. 'And he took his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim' means the Church's will and the Church's understanding, born from the internal. This is clear from the representation of 'Manasseh' as the new will in the natural and its essential nature, dealt with in 5354 (end); and from the representation of 'Ephraim' as the new understanding in the natural and its essential nature, dealt with in 5354. The birth of the two from the internal is meant by the fact that they were the sons of Joseph, who represents the internal celestial, 5869, 5877.

[2] What the Church's understanding is and what its will is must be stated. The Church's understanding consists in perceiving from the Word what the truth of faith is and what the good of charity is. As is well known, the literal sense of the Word is by nature such that a person can use that sense to support any opinion at all that he may adopt. The reason for this is that ideas appearing in the literal sense of the Word serve as general vessels to receive truths, though not until they have actually received truths does the real nature of those vessels reveal itself as if through transparency. Thus those ideas form merely a general impression which a person must gain first in order that he may aptly receive particular aspects and specific details. This fact - that the literal sense of the Word is by nature such that a person can use that sense to support any opinion at all that he may adopt - is clearly evident from the great number of heresies that have existed in the Church, and still exist in it. Adherents of each heresy find support for it in the literal sense of the Word, support which enables them to believe fully that it is the truth, which means that if they were to hear the actual truth from heaven they would receive nothing at all of it.

[3] The reason why they would not receive it is that they do not share in the understanding that the Church possesses; for that understanding exists when people read the Word, assiduously take one statement together with another, and by doing so see what they ought to believe and what they ought to do. Such understanding comes only to those who receive light from the Lord, whom the Christian world also calls 'the enlightened'. That enlightenment does not come to any but the kind of people who have the desire to know truths, not for the sake of reputation and glory but for the sake of life and service. That same enlightenment is received by a person in his understanding, for the understanding is the receiver of light. This is clearly evident from the fact that people who have little understanding cannot by any means see such things from the Word but have faith in those who they think are the enlightened. Furthermore it should be recognized that those who have been regenerated receive from the Lord an understanding which is capable of being enlightened; and it is the light of heaven coming from the Lord that flows into the understanding and gives it light, for the understanding receives its light, its sight, and consequently its perception from no other source.

[4] But this understanding which is being called the Church's understanding is more internal than an understanding based merely on factual knowledge, for it consists in a discernment that a thing is true not because factual evidence and philosophical deductions dictate it but because the Word in its spiritual sense does so. For example, people who possess the Church's understanding can perceive clearly that in every single part the Word teaches that love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour are the essential qualities of the Church, that a person's life continues after death, and that his life arises out of his loves. They can also perceive that faith separated from charity is not faith, that faith contributes nothing to eternal life except in the measure that the good of love to the Lord and the good of charity towards the neighbour are linked to it, and that faith and charity must therefore be joined together so that spiritual life may exist. People with an enlightened understanding can perceive quite clearly that these things are true; but those without it can by no means see that they are.

[5] It is thought that the people with an understanding in things of the Church are those who know how to substantiate extensively the opinions or teachings of their Church, to the point of convincing others that they are true, and who know how to refute numerous heresies in a masterly way. But this is not what is meant by the Church's understanding, for substantiating opinions is not a characteristic of the understanding but of mental ability at a sensory level, which sometimes comes to exist in very wicked people; indeed those without any beliefs at all, also those who are steeped in actual falsities, can have that ability. Nothing comes more easily to both these kinds of people than to substantiate whatever idea they like, so thoroughly that they convince the simple. But before substantiating any opinion the Church's understanding engages in seeing and perceiving whether it is true or not, and in substantiating it only after that.

[6] This understanding is what is represented by 'Ephraim'. But the Church's good, which is represented by 'Manasseh', is the good of charity, which the Lord instills into a member of the Church through the truths of faith. For these truths together with the good of charity are what flow into the understanding and give it light, and also enable the understanding and the will to constitute one mind. The truth that both these - the understanding and the will - are born from the internal may be seen from what was stated and shown previously; for the whole affection for goodness and truth, the affection through which enlightenment comes, flows in from no other origin, thus is born from no other origin than the internal; that is, it comes from the Lord through the internal.
